Vickys Pecan Pie Bars, GF DF EF SF

A bit healthier than using a normal shortcrust or biscuit base and sugar to make the filling but just as delicious!

Ingredient

Food ration :

24 servings

Cooking time :

45 mins

4 tbsp

dates, pitted and soaked to plump up

120 ml

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Preheat the oven to gas 4 / 180C / 350°F and line an 11"x 7" tray with parchment paper

* Step 2

Mix the water and flax from the base ingredients together and set aside to thicken

* Step 3

Put the flax mixture along with the rest of the base ingredients into a bowl and combine to form a dough

* Step 4

Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the dish and bake for 15 to 20 minutes until slightly golden

* Step 5

Meanwhile, make the flaxseed/water mix and set aside as before then put that plus the other topping ingredients (minus the pecans) in a blender and puree together

* Step 6

Spread the topping over the baked base, sprinkle the chopped pecans over and bake for a further 25 - 30 minutes

* Step 7

Let cool then cut into even slices and enjoy!

* Step 8

You can use a 'cheesecake' biscuit base instead if you prefer or see my previously posted free-from shortcrust pastry recipe. You can also omit the pecan nut topping and use melted chocolate instead for a delicious Millionares Shortbread
